• Let's acknowledge that this is probably the longest running gay sauna in Very Rich Megacity. 
• The staff are extremely friendly and speak excellent English. 
  
• It has a devoted following.
• It is the LEAST ATTITUDINAL GAY SAUNA IN TOWN !! because it attracts a mix of nationalities and ages - local, white, foreign and tourist. Its compact space pretty much forces people to interact.  And interact, they do.  They'll be yapping in the Locker Room area, at the little porn TV nearby, just outside the showers and at the main counter.

Now..... let's call a spade a spade:

• The decor is tired and worn.  
• This place is showing its age, wear and tear and is begging for a renovation;
  
• The carpeting is perpetually damp;
• The place has a pokey feel to it; 
• Everything seems cramped;

 AND.............the place is attracting Fuglies by the bucketful.  Fugly whites, fugly chinks and fugly anything else.  The thing is, they seem nice people to talk to, they smile, they chat, they offer their e-mail addresses, utter grammatically correct compliments.  They seem pretty genuine, but completely UN-fuckable on account of being Fugly.


This is the complete opposite of what happens in other saunas around town: i.e. (hot) guys utterly untouchable, sullen and silent on account of their attitude.  In Central Escalator, the Friendly Fuglies are easy to touch and hug but not that fuck-worthy.  It's so sad when rejecting their sexual advances.  It's like having to put a puppy to sleep.  You hated having to be the one to make that decision, but there was no other viable choice at the time.  And the fugly, like the puppy, simply accepts his fate and looks at you lovingly.  It was nearly enough to make FuelMix cry and stuff an apologetic note in the fugly's locker.
